What is Integrity?
ACT1 SCENE3 ANGUS: Who was the thane lives yet, but under the heavy judgment bears that life which he deserves to lose. Whether he was combined with those of Norway, or did line the rebel with hidden help and vantage or that with both he labored in his country's wrack, I know not; but treason's capital, confessed and proved, have overthrown him.
I chose this passage because it shows how the thane of Cawdor had no integrity and committed treason against the crown which was punishable by death. It shows how even someone in a position of great respect and honour can do terrible things to get what they want, how someone who has everything can still want more. This part is relevant because not only does it show the beginning of the lose of integrity but is also begins the witch's prophecy making it a very big part in the play.
